<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt'>Hello – I’m
attempting to import a .dwg file (made in Autocad, and saved to the 2000
version) and, though the various layers that I want are checked while in
Autocad, only 4 layers are showing up when it arrives in equest. These
layers are windows and doors, but no walls. So it’s not very useful with
just a scattering of disconnected lines. I’ve tried several
variations and keep ending up with the same 4 layers, and nothing else.
Has anyone encountered this before? (I have successfully imported .dwg on
other projects).</span><span lang=EN-US><o:p></o:p></span></p>
